Right-click behaviour modified on back arrow

On Safari 2.x, when right-clicking on the "back" arrow, the previously visited pages do not appear.
This was implemented in Safari 1.x, and is a standard feature in other browsers.
Did I miss something in my set-up or is it really gone?
Tx
Michel

Hi MichelJ,
It's been a while since I used Safari 1.x so I can't recall how it used to behave, but in Safari 2.x you can simply hold down the left mouse button over the back/forward buttons to view the history.

Change default right click behaviour

Hi There,
After doing some digging, I found that a quicker way of starting a slideshow of photos in a folder is to select the picures, hold down ALT and right click (or ALT, CMD, Click). This changes the "quick view" option to "slideshow" (both on the context menu AND the menu bar at the top of Finder.
I would prefer to have this as the default. Is there some way of changing this behaviour so I don't need to press ALT? I use slideshow more than I use quick view...
Thanks,
James

This is not the only way, but you can try something like a 3rd party mouse driver such as
USBOverdrive
or
Steermouse

Right-click to select "Back" works but is accompanied by error sound

Anyone know if Is this a known issue: In Safari (v4 Public Beta, Build 5528.17), every time I right-click and then select Back, the previous page is returned, but I get an error sound as the menu is drawn. This appears to be new with the new Beta and began occurring after installation of the initial download (an earlier build). It also happens using the trackpad.
I'm using a third-party Logitech mouse with OS X drivers, and the buttons are set correctly. I cannot account for the behavior. It's very annoying. An older, now archived post indicated that the behavior was also noticed using Apple mice.
Any clues?

Hi,
There's a chance it could be a faulty contextual menu item that is erroring and causing the sound. Have a look in these 2 folders to see if anything is present, and if so ove them to your Desktop temporarily to disable them. You'll need to quit and restart Safari for it to notice the change:
Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Contextual Menu Items
Hard drive > Library > Contextual Menu Items

Why does right-click & "Open Link in New Tab" make the original tab name to change to "New Tab" when I back-arrow in the original tab to reach the original page

I use Google as my home page.
When I do a search in Google I have a practice of opening the search links in a new tab by right-clicking on the link and selecting "Open Link in New Tab". That way I can examine multiple links from the search page, which is now open in the first tab.
The problem that occurs is that when I use the back-arrow in the Navagation bar to return the first tab to its original page, I find the tab name of the original page to be "New Tab" rather than "Google" and I have to click on the "Reload current page" in the Navigation bar to return the tab name to "Google".
I'm using Firefox-25 on a Linux-Mint 64-bit platform with KDE-4.9.5.

The problem is just with the name of the tab, not with the contents of the page -- the page looks normal??
I ask about the page because Firefox 23 seems to have introduced a problem with Firefox's "fast back-forward cache" on the Google search results page. It is related to the "instant prediction results" feature interacting with Firefox is some different way. (More in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863?page=2#answer-485663])
Might be related. Not sure.

Back arrow will not drop down the recent history of pages visited on a right-click.

I use IE 11. Older versions of IE allowed you to back up to any previous page visited during the current session by right-clicking the back button. The right-click would drop down a list of pages visited, and you could choose any one of them, regardless
of their order. With IE 11, the right-click has no effect. I must left-click the back button and go through each page previously visited serially before reaching the desired one. Have I inadvertently changed a setting or something?

Hi,
Right-click on the back/forward button works from my side(IE 11 on Windows 8.1 and IE 11 on Windows 7 Ulimate SP1). Not sure what is your situation.
And there seems to be a bug related with IE 11 back button, see here:
IE 11 back button does not work
If you do not sure which settings have been modified, then we may consider to reset IE 11, and please take a note:
Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.
Here is a reference:
Change or reset Internet Explorer settings
Hope this may help

If I click on a google search link and return with the back arrow on the browser it takes me to the top of the page and not the link I just opened unlike Internet explorer

I run a search on google.com and click on a link that comes up near the bottom of the page, After I read it and then use the back arrow (pointing left) to return to the searches it takes me to the top of the page to the first link google found rather than the link I just looked at. This does not happen with other web pages using firefox or Internet Explorer's Browser (using google).

Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries'''
* Right click the preference '''browser.sessionhistory.max_entries''' and click '''Modify'''
* Change value from 0 to whatever you want over 0 (Default value is 50)
* click OK
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.

How can I go BACK to the site I was at, say, 5 site previous or forward without hitting the BACK arrow 5 times? The previous version had a drop down box with a list of previous sites I could click on.

It can take a while to go back by hitting the back arrow again and again. The previous version had a drop down box that listed nine or ten previous URLs. This allowed me to pick out which one I wanted by clicking on that URL. Version 4 doesn't have this feature or, if it does, I cannot find it. Is this capability on Version 4, and if so, how can I find it?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

I can no longer back more than 1 page by clicking on the "Back" arrow. I used to be able to go back multiple pages by clicking in front of the arrow

When I want to go back multiple pages at a time, like 3 or 4 pages, I cannot find a way to do that.

The down-arrow indicator on the Back/Forward button to list visited pages for a tab has been removed in Firefox 4. You can:
*right-click the Back/Forward button for the list
*HOLD down the left-click mouse button while on the Back/Forward button until the list appears
*add the following Add-on to add back the down arrow:
**https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

When I right click on a report I need to run, I can not run it because a pop-up says "Back Forward Reload... Inspect Element ". How do I prevent this popup?

I have created reports in Wal-Mart Retail Link. To run the report, you right click on the report and a pop-up comes up that allows you to modify, submit, delete or share this report. These options are hidden by another popup that gives the options to Back Forward Reload...Inspect Element (Q). It runs correctly when using Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

There used to be a feature on the 'back' arrow; a small tiny down click arrow where i could choose a specific recent page to go back to. it saves hitting and reloading old pages i want to skip. what can i do now?

at the top left corner of the tool bar, there is a 'back' arrow and a 'forward' arrow. before the latest software upgrade to firefox, i used a teeny tiny 'down' arrow that was to the right of the 'forward' arrow. when i clicked on the tiny 'down' arrow, it showed me a list of all the pages that had recently been opened; not just a website i might have been visiting, but all the pages i had navigated to on that website. i used the 'down' arrow as a shortcut to get back to a specific page which out having to click the 'back' arrow like ten times or more. i would really, really, really like for you to put that feature back, or tell me what i can do instead. thanks.

You're welcome.

I right clicked on a image and now all my thumbnails are missing, how do I get them back?

I was in Facebook trying to delete/block an image from my likes (I wanted to delete the like but couldn't so I thought I would just block the image) Anyway what I clicked on in the right click box took all my thumbnails off of Facebook. I would like to get them back, how do I do this?
thank you

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions 
You can see the permissions for the server in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions 
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

What happened to the drop down menu on the navigation bar that showed previous pages visited? It was to the right of the "forward/back" arrows.

To the right of the forward/back arrows there was a drop down arrow that would allow you to see the last several stops you had made after doing a search. This was very handy for going back and forth between articles, etc. '''I used it all the time and want it back. '''If this version of Firefox doesn't have it, please tell me how to download the previous version that did have it. Thanks.
